How do I make a bookmark using the J-shaped finding with the loop on the tip?

A.

One popular way to decorate this type of finding is to string beads on a headpin then forming a simple loop. Secure the drop to the finding for a personalized bookmark.

The loop on the finding can also be used for attaching beads strung on ribbon, wire or beading wire. Secure cording and beading wire using traditional jewelry techniques like crimping or knotting. Secure wire using wrapped or simple loops.
